they do look a bit slim compared to the preds in avp
Re-read what I wrote above.
Do you just "skim over" posts?
I mentioned several times they (P1 and P2 Preds) were not as thick as the one in AVP, but that the P1 and P2 Preds still had powerful builds by human standards.
I made it very clear I meant 400 pounds for the Preds in P1 and P2 however.
The ones in AVP were even thicker and would have been likely in the 450-475 pound range.
On their own the P1 and P2 creatures were far more powerfully built than most humans that have ever lived, excluding bodybuilders. This is why I peg them at 400 pounds for their given height of roughly 7'6".
The AVP Preds were even thicker and built like bodybuilders.
Just because the P1 and P2 preds were not as thick as the ones in AVP, does not make the P1 and P2 preds skinny. None of the Preds have been skinny. The AVP ones were extra-thick, but the P1 and P2 preds were still powerful looking none-the-less. I do not know how many different ways I can say it, but I am sure I will get a reply like:
"
Meethed YUO aRE STupid Dumazz cuz the others Predaters ar not az big az thu AVP ons so THey Ar skinnee and thin. 250 punds an 8 feet tall. "
There is no way the P1 or P2 Preds weighed only 200-300 pounds, not unless they are far less dense than a human, and that is highly unlikely given their durability. For them to be built like a human who lifts weights (again
I do not mean a bodybuilder look, just a strong looking humanoid frame, not every one who lifts weights is a bodybuilder) they would need to be around 400 pounds, at 7'6" just to look strong at all.
Try doing the math. Even the P1 Pred would have been 185 pounds at 5'10", and that is FAR from being as thick as an AVP Pred. 185 pounds at 5'10" scaled up to 7'6" is 400 pounds.
There are in-between bodytypes.
Not just Bodybuilder or thin. Think of a 1-10 muscularity scale. 1 being scrawny build, and 10 being bodybuilder. The AVP Preds would be a 10 on the scale, and the P1 and P2 Preds would have been a 6 or 7. Far from being skinny.
300 pounds at 7'6" is the same as 141 pounds at 5'10", that build would be PUNY.
There seems to be an idea going around that because the P1 and P2 Preds were not as bulky as the AVP ones that now all of the sudden the P1 and P2 creatures are now classed with puny, even though they themselves looked powerful.
There is such thing as powerfully built, while still being agile and non-cumsy. It is a strong athletic physique, and at 400 pounds at 7'6" would fit that billl,
300 pounds at the height would look far more thin than any Pred we have seen on film.
